Say Bye Bye Blackheads

I tried this great new face cleaner and it’s called ByeBye Blackheads from Joey. It helps eliminate the dirt that clogs your pores and the turns into those ugly blackheads. From what I have read about blackheads, they are usually the first stage of acne. Blackheads can develop into pimples, and I really want to avoid them at all costs. Bye Bye Blackheads is supposed to minimize the appearance of pores too, so I thought I would give it a try.

Bye Bye Blackheads is so easy to use and you only have to apply it once or twice a week.  After washing my face, I apply a thin layer of the clear gel on the area I want to treat and I allow the gel to dry for a minute or two.  Then, I gently rub the gel and it rolls right off my face taking the dirt and grime from my pores with it. It’s a great product and I plan on having it on hand just in case I need. it. I recommend trying Bye Bye Blackheads, it’s working for me!

You can find Bye Bye Blackheads at http://www.hsn.com/beauty/joey-new-york-bye-bye-blackheads

All I need For School Is Some Thymes

It has been a lot of work getting ready for school.  Between organizing my book bag, homework, after school activities, selecting my clothes and accessories, there is little time for anything else.  Except for Thymes.  I found this great Rollerball Cologne called Moonflower and some silky soft hand creams in fabulous fragrances at Thymes.com.  Don’t forget to read my back to school blog.

You might find something you like at their website and while you are there, don’t forget to read my blog and see if you can figure out what my favorite Thymes fragrance is.

Paul Mitchell Protools Are A Real Smoothy

 

It’s back to school, and it’s time to hit the books, but not before my hair looks smooth, straight and just plain awesome.  How will I do this?  With a Paul Mitchell Limited Edition Express Ion Smooth Peacock, for sure!

“Whether you have mermaid waves or an afro of curls, the Paul Mitchell Limited Edition Express Ion Smooth Peacock will, for sure, straighten every strand of hair.  I have tried over 4 brands of flat irons prior to using Paul Mitchell’s Smoothing Iron and none has exceeded my standards like the Paul Mitchell Limited Edition Express Ion Smooth Peacock.  The smoothing iron has  2″ ceramic plates that distribute the heat from the iron onto your hair nice and evenly”.

“Some of the features I like is the 9 foot cord so I am not limited to using it in the bathroom.  The longer cord allows me to use the iron in almost any room in the house.  The smoothing iron heats up in no time.  By the time I brush my teeth, it is heated to 400*. Paul Mitchell Limited Edition Express Ion Smooth Peacock is also designed to prevent creases and dents because the edges are beveled, unlike many smoothing irons which crease, cut and catch your hair.  That is a very uncomfortable feeling, by the way. Paul Mitchell Smoothing iron makes hair straightening fast and easy with fantastic results.  Paul Mitchell Limited Edition Express Ion Smooth Peacock is attractive with it peacock print, making it fun and stylish looking”.

Check out the before and after pictures below.  Adrienne has very thick, wavy/curly hair and she loved the results she got.  Smooth and easy is the key with the Paul Mitchell Limited Edition Express Ion Smooth Peacock

Paul Mitchell Limited Edition Express Ion Smooth Peacock  is available ONLY in professional salons and Paul Mitchell schools.  Price varies upon location.

5 “Must Haves” in my Ballet Bag

 

Being Junior in High School and A Soloist for the State Ballet of Rhode Island, my time is very limited so I have to make sure my ballet bag is always packed. There are always a few essentials items that I “Must Have” in my ballet bag, and these might be good ideas for you too.

Must Have #1: Tweezerman Match Box Itty Bitty Files are a must.  My fingernails and toenails must always be smooth because I can’t risk tearing my tights, and it does happen from time to time when I have had a rough edge. These itty bitty nail files come in pa matchbox package of 12,so I can share with my friends.

www.tweezerman.com 

Must Have #2: Murad’s Skin Perfection Primer is a great product to have before applying makeup, which we do often at the ballet. I like Murad;s Skin Perfection Primer because it helps control acne breakouts, reduces the appearance of pores, and controlsshine.  Aftr all, who wants to have a shiny face when they are on stage, or anyplace for that matter. www.murad.com

Must Have #3: Eylure Naturalites Eyelashes are another important accessory.  Available in assorted styles and sizes, they are reusable and come with their own adhesive, which is very convenient.   They are easy to use and takes little time to apply.  When I want my eyes to POP onstage, I use Eylure Naturalites!

www.eylure.com

Must Have #4: I always like to carry a fragrance in my bag and Lavinella “Summer Vanilla” Roll-on is the perfect one for me.  This fragrance has a delicate vanilla scent. It is subtle enough that I can roll on  as often  I like without it being over powering. Lavinella roll-on comes in a very slim bottle which fits conveniently in my ballet bag.

 www.lavinella.com

Must Have #5: I have at least 6 Mia Hair Accessories in my bag at all times.  I love the Braidies, which is a hair braid headband.  They look like real hair and one size fits all and comes in 2 sizes, thick and thin.  When I wear my hair in the bun  I wear  the Braidies.

The braid adds a unique and stylish look. Tony Ties, are a must too. These no tug hair ties (leopard print being my favorite) hold my hair back in a ponytail before I make my bun.  Tony Ties come out easily without pulling on my hair.  Mia Hair Accessories come in 5 natural Hair colors. www.tonytail.com
